Almost all Survey Ships are equipped with jump drives

The difference here is that I don't want gates to everywhere.  They make it much easier for an enemy to chase me from my systems.  I will often build a gate outgoing from a colony in the colony system but not build a gate on the other side.  This will give me some tactical flexability if I need it for an assault without broadcasting to everyone that there is something juicy on the other side of the jump point.  It is mostly a matter if preference however and you can do whatever you want.  Let me know if somebody ever chases you out of a system and uses your own gates against you.

Well, I tend to have a few Gate builders busy at all time. Getting gates to my colony is priority number one, but once it's done they just keep on building.

Wow, do you equip most of your ships with jump drive? I tend to only explore as fast as I can build gates.
I don't know about the op here, but most of my survey work is definitly done by jump drive equipped squadrons.  Lately it has been a larger jump ship with a extra fuel, a flag bridge and the best possilble commercial sensors backed up by several smaller ships that do the actual survey work for a system.  I like to have at least a two system deep area around my inhabited systems that has been surveyed. This way if something pokes its head in I have a chance to see them and prepare.

My colonies do tend to be linked by Jump Gates, just not my surveyed region.
